True #refuge is something that opens the door of #transformation and #healing to us. We need to learn how to take refuge. Taking refuge is not an act of #escape. It is an act of #protection and #inclusiveness. If what we now take refuge in—#work, #food, material comfort, #television—cuts us off from our own #feelings, our #family, and our #society, it is not really a place of refuge.
--- Thich Nhat Hanh, in his book Creating True Peace
